The Science of Cables


It seems to me that there is too little scientific, objective evidence for why cables sound the way they do. When I see discussions on cables, physical attributes are discussed; things like shielding, gauge, material, geometry, etc. and rarely are things like resistance, impedance, inductance, capacitance, etc. Why is this? Why aren’t cables discussed in terms of physical measurements very often?

Seems to me like that would increase the customer base. I know several “objectivist” that won’t accept any of your claims unless you have measurements and blind tests. If there were measurements that correlated to what you hear, I think more people would be interested in cables. 

I know cables are often system dependent but there are still many generalizations that can be made.

characteristics like solid long grain copper
Would it have similar properties to long grain rice, do you think?

The Audioquest Redwood uses about 30% silver. And the Wild even uses 50% silver. The William Tell only uses pure copper. So most people would assume that the Wild and Redwood will created more details in the high frequencies.

But.....the thing is that the William Tell is even beter in resolution. I never auditioned any copper cable from Audioquest what could reveal more resolution in the high frequencies. So a new technique can even make huge steps in resolution even when only copper is being used.

"Clearthink wanted to copy our ideas, has never been a client from us. He thinks and believes that he can reach the same by trial&error. At the end it is all about facts."

As Americans would say "You lie like a rug" I am a former customer of yours. Since you claim to know that I never purchased from you, which is a lie, then you must know my real name. Post it here I give you permission but of course you won’t because you can’t because you lie. I revealed to you the oustanding, fatal, tragic flaw in your "Tru-Fi" scheme was it’s failure, inability, and flaw in not being able to accomodate, account, and correct for ICSS and when I showed this to you you flew into a fit of violent rage because you obviously have issues with control as fully demonstrated, revealed, and shown in this forum.

So as you say "Bo"  "You see that he truth is always different" than the lies, deception and fraud you promote, perpetrate, and promulgate here!
